Properties of graphite mould for sintered diamond segment

Publish Date:2020-03-11

Graphite has good conductivity, and its thermal conductivity is also better than the general non-metallic materials and some metal materials. The compressive strength of dense graphite can reach 45MPa, so graphite is often used as heat forming materials. Graphite is selected as the hot pressing die material for hot pressing diamond nodal block, which is based on these characteristics of graphite.

Graphite has a small coefficient of thermal expansion, which can withstand the rapid change of temperature without cracking; nodal matrix materials are mostly metallic materials, whose coefficient of thermal expansion is much larger than graphite, which brings convenience for de-moulding; in addition, when graphite is hot pressed, the surface reacts with oxygen to generate Co or CO2 gas, which can protect diamond and matrix materials from oxidation; graphite has low hardness and is easy to be used In machining.
Graphite, as a mold material, also has some shortcomings, mainly because its porosity is very large compared with metal material. Therefore, during the course of hot pressing, the liquid metal (low melting point component of melting) may be squeezed into the void, making the mold brittle and easy to crack, or the mold wall roughening and deformation during mold unloading, which will affect the use times.

In order to meet the requirements of hot pressing process conditions, when selecting the graphite brand of hot pressing die, the following requirements shall be met as far as possible:

(1) Compressive strength ≥ 35 ~ 45MPa;

(2) Generally, the density is more than 1.6g/cm3, and the porosity is less than 30%.

During the diamond segment working process, the role of diamond powder crystals is very important, especially in the cutting process, a good crystal can be very good in anti-breakage ability, reduce the power consumption of the equipment, and extend the life of the cutting....

Arrayed diamond segment and the saw blade

2020-12-29
In traditional diamond segment products, the diamond powder in the segment is arranged in disorder. During the cutting process, the exposed diamond will impact the stone surface at various angles, and the exposed height of the diamond will vary. As a result, the diamond is not evenly stressed, and diamonds with high exposure are prone to fracture. In order to improve this situation and make the diamond distribution more uniform, arrayed segments have emerged. Weld the arrayed segment on the blade steel body to be an arrayed saw blade....
